We interviewed a Lasik Plus San Diego patient and got a Lasik testimonial from him. Lasik Plus San Diego is a North County San Diego Lasik facility. It is located on Sabre Springs parkway, south of Escondido, and North of Miramar Marine Corps Air Station, just off Highway 15. This Lasikplus San Diego testimonial is intended to be a nonbiased personal account.

“Hi, my name is Jeffrey and I had Lasik eye surgery at Lasik Plus San Diego in 2003. I was 24 years old. Prior to that, I wore glasses for 12 years and contact lenses for 3 years. I considered Wavefront Lasik for myself when I decided to go on a few trips overseas. I had plans to backpack through Southeast Asia for a few weeks, and then through Europe for a month and a half. The trip would be fast paced, and I would primarily be staying in hostels, which had shared bathrooms and weren't always clean. With that in mind, I didn't want to deal with the hassle of cleaning and changing contact lenses every night. Plus, my glasses, contacts, and lens solution would take up valuable space in my backpack. In addition, I felt that Lasik eye surgery could be a lifetime investment that would be worth the cost in the long run.

Sometimes I can be an impulsive guy, but I do a heavy amount of research when it comes to important matters. So, I started to educate myself about the different types of procedures, and how exactly my vision would be corrected. I had seen late night commercials and newspaper ads that offered to perform the procedure for as low as $300 per eye. However, this was a serious procedure and I wasn't going to be cheap with it. I didn't want to take a “you get what you pay for” chance with my eyes. I looked up different Lasik surgery centers in San Diego, and finally decided to call Lasik Plus San Diego. The pricing sounded reasonable (about $1500 per eye) so I scheduled a free consultation.

The Lasik Plus San Diego facility was professional and the consultation was thorough. The staff asked questions and tested my vision to make sure that I was a good candidate. At the end of the day, they felt that I was a good Lasik candidate because of my stable vision and plentiful corneal tissue, amongst other reasons. Some friends and family had concerns about the technology being new, and the potential for an accident. I took them into consideration, but I felt good with the success rate of the specific doctor that would be performing my surgery. I decided to schedule the bladeless Lasik operation.

Lasik Plus instructed me to be contact lens free for seven days prior to the surgery. When the actual day arrived, I was a little anxious, but I felt good. They did a few last minute vision checks and made sure I was feeling OK. They gave me one dose of Valium to keep me calm, and laid me down on the operation table. They covered one eye, and used a device to prevent my other eye from blinking. I was instructed to look up and stay focused on the red dot that was emitting from the laser. When they started the laser, I focused on the dot for about 5-10 seconds, and it was over. They repeated this with the other eye and it was over. They took one last look into my eye with a light and magnifying glass and told me that it looked good. They also told me to look at a clock across the room to see if it was clear. It was. From that point, they told me to keep my eyes closed for a whole day, and use lubricating drops every few hours. My girlfriend drove me home.

After that, I was fine. The next day my vision was excellent. They even said that I could drive myself back to the San Diego Lasik Plus facility for my followup visit. I had more vision tests and everything went excellent. I was extremely happy with the results. They told me to keep using the lubricating drops, as my eyes would feel dry as they healed. This was true, and I used the drops for about 6 months after the procedure.

I went on both of my trips, absolutely relieved that I didn't have to worry about glasses or contacts. My vision was even better than 20/20 and I felt that the ~$3000 was some of the best money I've ever spent. My surgery package came with free lifetime enhancements in case my vision ever changed, which is reassuring. However, after my 6 month post-surgery check-up, I haven't been back since. It has been 2 years since the surgery, and I am still incredibly happy with it. I wouldn't even think twice if I had to make the decision again. I'm glad that my experience at San Diego Lasik Plus was a good one. It's true that only time will tell how things will turn out, but so far I am a very happy customer.”
